It believes that ad vertising is the life of .trade; and that one of the noblest works of creation is the man who always pays the printer. The Ledge is $2.00 a year in advance, or $2.50 when not so paid.

GREENWOOD, JANUARY 2, 1913. A blue mark here indicates that yonr Subscription has become deceased, and that the editor would once more like to commune with your collateral. Full many a good resolution, is born to die before it is a week old. The reader must appreciate that which is written, or else the work of the writer is lost. It is rough riding on a water wagon, and we would advise the passengers to nail themselves to the tank. Thinking Themes In B. C. church property is now exempt from taxation. We will probably have Separate Schools in a year or two. In Greenwood, Bowser's Liquor Act looks like five cents, while in Midway it is bigger than a barrel- of silver dollars. ' Many a good resolution is already tottering to its ruin, "while here and there a few are already dead to the world. - It is thought by some people, that at; least two of the license commissioners in Greenwood should be hotel men. Early yesterday morning a long line of water wagons took to the road. Most of them will be in the ditch before the month is out. In Revelstoke the other Sunday a preacher in the pulpit shouted, ������'Is the young man safe!" Yes, if he reaches the base before the ball. The editor of Cotton's Weekly remarks that Canada is the fall guy for tho British war lords. He does not explain the meaning of guy. ���������We have received a copy of the Christmas number of the Vernon News. It is the largest paper of the kind that haB ever been issued from the town a size of Vernon. License commissioners bave no right to permit hotelkeepers to break the law, and if any loss or damage is caused an individual through the law being broken, then the city becomes equally liable with the hotel men for such cases. During the month of December, the editor o'f Greenwood's leading excitement, did not use any tea, booze, coffee or tobacco, and had from two to three square meals day. This is a record held by no other poet or editor in the world. u jf The Eeview ia the name of paper just started at Sidney, a rising town on, Vancouver Island. We look for that town to grow rapidly as some of the business men are filling tbe new journal with page ads. The editor is an adept at weaving words in paragraphs, that will please, stnrUe, and interest the pn|dto/;'' ,/, , Freedom is not only impractical, it is impossible; it is oven inconceivable. It is "a dream of a dreamer who dreams he is dreaming." If you were to wake" up some morning with the consciousness that you were utterly free to do as you please, you would be paralyzed. Human life is possible only under the condition of certain laws; human happiness is found only in obedience to those laws. I said freedom is even inconceivable. ' Theologians assert that God himself is not above His laws. We cannot grasp the unconditioned. The primeval- savage in the jungle is bound in a hundred ways, he has less freedom than the poor lady at court. For we are freer now than were our ancestors, merely because we have developed law to a higher decree. The only way, it seems, to get freedom is to take it away. Legislatures and courts are constantly limiting the freedom of the individual. They dictate the hours he shall work, the pay he shall get, the way his children shall be taught, when he shall fight and keep the peace, and a hundred other limitations of his desires. There is not such thing as freedom: What we mean when we say the word is justice in laws. For the only freedom is justice. -Dr. Frank Crane. Gordon cially represented by Buukle of Vancouver. At present by far the greater proportion of British Columbia's fresh lamb and mutton supply comes, as it always has, from Oregon and otber states to the south, although of late years New Zealand and Anptralia have been contributing appreciably, thanks to cold storage facilities. That British Columbia should grow its own supply, having hundreds of beautiful valleys now in waste land that are eminently adaptable to*sheep husbandry is the conviction of Mr. Farnsworth and his apsociates, and they have accordingly taken, np twenty-five sections of beautiful land, comprising Homo 10,000 acres, in the Naas river valloy, whore thoy will establish their industry almost immediately, with an initial flock of two thousand selected sheep. Incident to this enterprise the provincial public works department is in which he says: "I bog now to make formal application for the construction of a trail in tho Naas river district, i from the end of tho pieseut trail at Alice Arm east to the junction of the White and Flat rivers, about ten miles from the foot of Meziaden lake. I have acquired twenty-five sections of land in that vicinity and have men there this winter making preparations for a sheep ranch which I propose to establish next summer provided your government will put through this trail so that we can get across to^the land. "I may say that it is impossible to drive sheep into that country over the trail built this year from Stewart to Meziaden lake owing to its narrowness and the dangerous character of the country it traverses.. On the other hand it will be an easy matter to get in from Alice Arm, as the country is open and the divide to be crossed a low one. In fact that all will be necessary will be three short bridges and perhaps some brushing through "the thickest part. tenance of the trees on the mount- '' * \ < ' < i * ain slopes for the purpose of wat'ir conservation!

The new industry is expected to be established next spring when at least 2,000 sheep will be driven to the site of the syndicate's holdings between the south end of Meziaden lake and the Flat river, a tributary of the White river, via Alice Arm. While Stewart will be the supply point for the ranch it will be necessary, however, to toke the sheep in from the south, as it would be impossible to drive a large flock over the narrow pack trail existing between this point and Meziaden lake���������the shortest route to the range���������as they Would be liable to crowd one another off. In outlining the scope of the enterprise the southern paper publishes the following article: A long step forward in the direction of placing British Columbia in the position of being independent in tbe matter of fresh meat supply is contemplated by a group of Boston capitalists, headed by W.

It is estimated' that the total value of the cod catch of this year is about $6,000,000. When to this is added the value of the by-products, wo get a total of about $10,000,000, or $7,000,000 kroner. A great amount of the r t catch is sun-dried, and exported to Sweden, America and .Canada, where it is used under the name of lut-fisk. ( No Scandinavian, wherever he may dwell, feels that tho jnle-tide ', is fittingly observed if lude-fiek is omitted from his bill of fare. The great Norwegian fishing banks at Lofoten, Finn- marken and Romsdalen lank second only to the great Newfoundland banks, but when it is recalled that the fishing period of the latter place extends virtually over six months, -that is, from April to October, the Norwegian banks must be rated the highest for there the fishing months are only the latter part of January, February and March. During this time the Norwegian fishing banks teem with boats. At Lofoten alone about 40,000 men with a fleet of about 8,000 vessels are busily engaged in the catch. Both nets and lines are used, but the latter is by far the most usual. Four hundred fish per man is regarded as a good day's catch'. Years ago the fishermen were often obliged to sell at a sacrifice, but with better means i of communication and increased demand, both from the foreign and the home market, the fishermen are now getting better pay for their catch than ever before. cyclone cellars to provide-sa from the windstorms that are coming common in the state." This is the conclusion of Al P. Sandles, secretary of tlie Ohio Etate Board of Agriculture, after a iare- ful investigation of storm damage through the state during the present year. Sandles, who always is digging through tho facts connected with agriculture in the state, is/ strong for more trees. He is fimly convinced that, with thous&nds of acres of trees growing, theie.would bo Ipss storm damage, ' more surplus moisture stored up! in tbe earth for the benefit of thegrowing crops and a better condition gener- ally for all 'the people. His first advice is to plant trees, if he-has anything further it would be to keep on planting trees. "The storage of surplusmoisture for the growing crops is largely de- pendent on the timber area about the headquarters of stream and near the farms" Sandles claims. He insists that, with more trees'in the state there would be more and better corn, oats,'wheat and hay and even the high cost of living would be given a fatal thrust if the trees were planted and natural conditions for this climate restored. "The state'ought to have thousands of acres of new growing trees planted next year, he says. We ought to increase the acreage of trees planted "everys year until the denuded hills again are covered with the trees that are supplied by nature when the country was wild. With thit will come the restoration of natural conditions and the state will be much more prosperous. Plant tho trees, fertilize the acres that have yielded uncomplainly for over a CBntury, use sound judgement in tbe rotation of crops and Ohio will again produce a score of bushels of wheat per inhabitant and tho queption of the- high' cost of food stuffs in that line, will have been settled." \ pressure ' with high temperature.

Duncan Marshall, minister of agricul.ure for Alberta, has placed an order with a firm in Montreal for a thousand pure-bred Barred Plymouth Rocks, Rhode Island Reds, Buff Orpingtons and White Wyandottes for delivery early next jspring to the provincial poultry farm' in Edmonton. The birds are solely for breeding purposes. Stock and eggs will be delivered to farmers and poultry growers direct from the experimental farms in various parts of the province. It is expected that several thousand high-grade birds will be added to the flocks during the coming year. Mr. Marshall believes tbe best way to encourage the industry is to assist the farmers. , Artificial Coal {That New Zealand will call upon' British ' Columbia and (with the completion of, the Panama Canal) eastern Canada for timber supplies to a greater extent as years'.go by, is proved by ,the following, extract of a report;, by the New Zealand Lands Department: > ,' ', ' -; , | 'From ,the more accurate information that is now available, it will be seen that there is ample justification for' the diminished ' * i ' <��������� estimate of our timber supply. An impression prevails that, owing to the increased use of substitutes for timber in, constructions of build-, ings, the future demand may not be so great as was anticipated.' But, as the population of tbe Dominion (New Zealand) is constantly, increasing, and there is'rapidly increasing demand for timber in every branch ofrindiiBtry, we must realize that our timber resources will be taxed to their.utmost capacity in a very few years, and the future' generations - wiU have, to face a serious' problem that, up to now, has, not been regarded, with much concern. - * "Out, of the gross amount of milling timber, .estimated to exist at the present time, the report continues" it will be noticed that nearly one-third is composed of timber riot 'commercially used ' to any extent, also a large portion is situated, on land, too difficult'of access to be profitably worked for many years -to come. The,,net quantity likely to be available ,for saw milling would therefore amount to 16,000,000,000 superficial ffiet. > . ' The report goes on to state that, as the present output of timber is over 400,000,000 superficial feet, it is a' fair assumption that'-ihe average output for the next generation will be about 450,000,000 superficial feet. If the present estimated supply is divided by this amount, it will be seen that there is only sufficient timber to last tbe sawmiller 'for about thirty-five years, and this is without taking account of the inevitable loss that periodically occurs through accidental fires. During this period large supplies of foreign timber might be expected to arrive, and so reduce the strain on local forests, but, as every country in the world would be feeling the effects of the universal demand, it was not to be expected tbat such timber could be procured after ten or twenty years, save at much higher prices than now current, and in,gradually decreasing quantity. * - The annual output in British Columbia at the "present time is about one and a half billion feet, or over three times the consumption of New Zealand, and this is only one-quarter of the possible production, the sister colony will be able to secure timber for many years. But British Columbia woods stand a tremendous risk from fire. Only through adequate fire protection will this province be able to hold her'place in the lumber world. .i -.

The move was a trying one foe all, and they hud been some time set' tied In their new 'quarters before thei garrison resumed its wanted good humor. As soon as the furniture was In position and the trunks, boxes and barrels unpacked, the officers' wives���������there' were two captains and four lieuten-1 ants, all married���������got together to fire! blank cartridges or empty words- at; the major. They began Dy calling him u brute, a monster, a devil, but finally simmered down to applying no more disagreeable name to him than crusty old bachelor. Then the meeting resolv-' ed itself Into a committee of the whole to express its .dissatisfaction *at the treatment It had received and take measures against Its recurrence. There was one dissenting voice in the, clatter' of tongues. ' Mrs.* Captain Ferguson, a good natured, motherly woman, avowed that the major was right; that an army encumbered with'women and children would be better equipped with blank cartridges; that the army was no place for them, and, be-, Ing an encumbrance, they should bear patiently any scolding, the commander chose to give them. A couple of months after tbe hegira a, niece of, Mrs. Ferguson���������Miss Gwen- dolin Brayllng, a young lady of nineteen���������came, out from the east to visit her aunt'When the major heard of her arrival he sniffed the air ominously. The ladles whom Mrs. Ferguson had reproved for their strictures on the major at once to'ok notice, wondering how the new impedimenta���������as they had come to facetiously style Miss Brayllng���������wonid affect the major. "Did you ask permission to have ber come?" asked Mrs. Lieutenant Hark ness of Mrs. Ferguson. "I did not," replied Mrs. Ferguson "I shall take care of her in every re- Bpect She shall be no encumbrance upon the garrison." "He'll get even with you." exclaim ed Mrs. Captain Wetherby, shaking her head'ominously. To this Mrs. Ferguson did not deign a reply. Miss Brayllng had scarcely bad time to ,make tbe acquaintance of tbe ladles of tbe garrison before she was privately warned by them to keep herself at as safe a distance as possible from the commander. "What'll he do to me?" she asked. "What'H he do? Why, what a question! Don't you know that he,considers woman a drawback to tho command? It Utero was an article In the ���������teguJatlons" to cover tho case he a convene a boold of survey to condemn, every., one of us and make a bonflro of us" ' \ ( ' What an awful man!" Now, it happened that Captain Ferguson,, soon j, after Miss Brayllng's ar- rrival'was?promoted to be major and "assigned i to ,* the ^command of Fort <&., 100 miles south'of Fort 3., He had, no '.sooner left the'fort,1'his wife, children and niece In an' ambulance and his 'effects' in an %army wagon, than Major MacDonald/-was heard to say, "There ,gb, five't dingers andr one soldier."

Every "woman, including the children, in the",fort stood on the parade gaping at the pile, and tbere was a clatter of tongues that would have drowned the post band. "I'll tell you what we'll do," said Mrs. Gunter. "Let's bring, all our, empty trunks, boxes, suit cases and bandboxes and put them on tbe pile." "Wouldn't it be mutiny?" asked one of the more timid ladies. "Mutiny! There's no such thing as mutiny for us. We're not In the army. Come on!" , Every woman rushed to her quarters and back, she and ber older children carrying articles to swell the major's pile. When it was so high that they must be tossed upward to get them in position it stopped growing, but tbe impedimenta was enough to drive a quartermaster insane. The next afternoon a smart little wagon was driven into the fort and who should appear on the back seat but Major MacDonald and Miss Brayllng! When the officer saw the pile in front of his quarters', his brow darkened for a moment; then be broke into a laugh. Several ladles were on the parade who hastened to welcome bim back, and he presented his companion to them as Mrs. MacDonald. , Both the groom and tbe bride entered into the spirit of the joke that had been iperpetrated, and. the news spreading ,'that their commander bad returned a, .married'man, the garrison poured from their quarters and welcomed him with* cheers. Then all took hold, separating* the additions from the real impediment ta, and carried the latter into the quars ters of the bride and groom. In the evening all was ready for a wedding reception, for some of tha boxes the groom bad sent contained eatables and drinkables, and there was a merry time at Fort J. Some one proposed the health of the newly married couple with tbe words: , "May their belongings never diminish!"

AN IMPORTANT CASE; 00<*rt-K>0<><K>0<><>0<^^ | B. C, MfflK NEWS I 0000<>CKK>0<KXK>0<>0<X>0<KK)aOOO "When seen by the Herald last week, Ground Hog Jackson stated that be would make his next trip to tbe coal fields the first of March, when he would take in a lot of supplies by dog team to keep the men workiug, and also to take in more men. He will return in time to start the pack trains in as soon as the snow is off the ground and the grass has started to grow. Frank is interested in several blocks of coal lands and he will have charge this next season of nearly all the packing aud getting the camps ready. He says that there will be an immense amount of development work, done this year, not only by the Canadian Finance and the other companies that were operating last year, but hy many others,. including Williams & Murdoff, Laidlaw, etc. He will also do a lot of work on his own claims and get them in shape for engineers to inspect. He has had many offers for his own stuff but he says that he will find out what there is on the property first and thus get the actual value for ground.���������Hazelton Herald. The program of tho Hedley Gold Mining Company is one of never ending surprises, but as the surprises aro agreeable ones there is no ono will find any fault. "When the now company took over tho property in August, 1909, thoy soon began to demonstrate tho fact that the mine was no longer in the hands of a closo corporation, shielding with mystery its operations and concealing its gains. When a dividend was paid it was stated openly in the manner of an open corporation . and the public had an opportunity to see that the standard dividend pace which the company had set was 12 per cent, per annum on the outstanding stock of the company, paid in quarterly instalments, and any increase on this which the earnings of the mine would permit was distributed as extra to the standard three per cent, quarterly and was- so specified. It immediately became a case of two per cent, extra, quarterly, making the quaeterly dividends total five per cent, or 20 per cent, per annum. At this rate they travelled along until the last quarter of 1911 when 10 per ceut. was distributed for the quarter, bringing the year's Frank Martin arrived home last week after spending several months in Vancouver looking after his coal and mineral interests. Frank stated that while money in Vancouver is tight there is looks of activity in Victoria ahd that there is lots of loose money there also. He was very successful in several ot his deals and had no kick coming whatever. He will be around the district now for some time. Mr. Martin stated to tbe Herald that next summer would most likely be the greatest in the history of this district. In the south there is far more interest being taken in Hazelton than ever before and many more people wero coming in now that the railway is open. Word came down from the Surprise mine on Monday to the effect that the ore had been hit in this first vein which this long tunnel cut. While this vein was small on the surface a gang of men were put to work drifting on it from the tunnel. They bave gone ninety feet and have encountered some dividend disbursement up to 25 per cent, and then the public began to wonder whether they could maintain that. Knowing that a few weeks ago they paid $150,000 for the Windfall group of claims nothing would have been thought of it if they had made the last quarter's dividend in 1912 no more than the usual quarterly 5 per cent., but the announcement to shareholders of the dividend of 12 per cent, for the quarter additional to the usual threo per cent, was wholly unexpected and will give tho public some inkling of what is to come when more ground is opened up and a new power plant is installed to take care of mining and reduction on a more extensive scale. It has always been understood that tho tonnage month by month for tho year was well up and that the recovery was good. To pay out 8300,000 in dividends in a single year is certainly a wonder- performance and when it is known that the Bum of $S3G,520 has already been disbuibed by the new company in dividends and that the total amount which they paid for the mine a little over three years ago was less than that, the present owners are certainly in a very enviable position. But the best part of it is that the real performances of the mine in the way of production are apparently only beginning. A Pare Cream of Tartar Powder Indispensable to best results���������saves worry���������saves work���������saves money- saves health���������saves complaints at table In the case of Dr. Schwabland versus R. J. Armstrong which occupied the court for four (lays in Greenwood and two clays iu taking evidence of Dr. Lambert and Dr. Neil in Spokane. Judgement has been given for the plaintiff Dr. Schwabland for tho amount of his claim with costs and the counter claim for $1000 for damages for malpractice, dismissed with costs against defendant Armstrong. The defendant claimed negligent and ��������� improper treatment on tho ground: 1. That the leg was not properly set and kept in a proper position afterwards. 2. That on or about tho 2flth June 1911, tlio plaintiff left tho defendant in charge of a druggist and remained away for nine daya. 3. That by reason of careless treatment infection was from time to time introduced into the wound. 4. That the plaintiff was negligent in not using.tlie serum or vaccine treatment. In his judgement, His Honor Judge Brown held dealing just with 2 3 and 4, (quoting only portions) it was not shown that the defendant suffered any bad effects by reason of the plaintiff's absence for nine days therefore this ground fails as to No. 3 I think it highly improbable that any now imfection was introduced by the plaintiff evidence of Dr. Lambert. This ground also fails. As to No. 4 the serum and vaccine treatment evidence of Dr. Mac- Lean is to the effect that this treatment is nearly always used for a general as opposed to a local infection. I accept Dr. MacLean's view as a reasonable one and exonerate the plaintiff from any negligence on this score. As to No. lfc in my opinion the weight of evidence shows that the broken fragments of the large bone (the tibia) were set in opposition. Dr. McNaughton for the defence swore tbat the injured leg was 1A- inches shorter than the other one. There is no doubt he was mistaken as the evidence of Doctors Mac- Lean, Lambert and Verral all show that the injured leg is shortened only g to A inch. That is not a bad result from a compound fracture as far as the setting of the bones and tho length of the injured leg the defendant fails. As explained by Dr. MacLean while there is some eversion it is more apparent than real and is duo to tho way the defendant walks. Dr. MacLean also stated that in his opinion tbere would be very little if any permanent lameness. I do not disparage at all the evidence of Dr. McNaughton but I prefer on this point to rely on the evidence of Dr. Lambert confirmed as it is to some extent by the authority of Scudder and the evidence of Dr. McLean. A. S. Black appeared for plaintiff Dr. Schwabland and A. D. Maclntyre of Kamloops and Ernest Miller appeared for defendant K,. J.Armstrong. The Nelson Shield Cont'd King Edward's cipher, E. R.

Bring me a dry Martini, waiter; Chase me something that is wet, I attended the banquet last night And I haven't got over it yet. Throw me a pleasant look, waiter, Smile on me, pray don't frown, And pour some glue on my breakfast So I can keep it dowu. I hear they've discovered the pole, waiter, I wish I had it here now; They can't come any too cold for nie To put on my aching brow. Many a schooner was wrecked last night, And the waves ran mountains high; Personally,.! was soused to the gills, But today I am awfully dry. It was a terrible night at sea, waiter, ' And many are missing, I think, But as near as I can remember I never missed a drink. The one in blue got my spark, waiter, Her side kicker got my clock, I don't waut to know what time it is��������� Please lead me down to the dock. Lead me down to the dock, waiter, For a watery grave I pine; The place for a man who is pickled Is over his head iu brine. Tell Doc. Fuliuer at the Fairmont I died as a hero should; Up to the neck in cold, cold suds, Guaranteed drawn from the wood. I'd like to leave you a gift/waiter, Just to remember me by. And just to show you that I am not tight You cau have my piece of pie; And after I sink in the deep, waiter, You'll do tne.one favor I hope; Tell them, if I blow up bubbles, That it warn't from eating soap. To Feeble Old People. \ As one grows old the waste of the system becomes more rapid than repair, the organs act'more slowly and less effectually than in youth, the circulation is poor, the blood thin and digestion weak. Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron tonic without oil, is the ideal strengthener and body-builder for old folks, for It contains the very elements needed to rebuild wasting tissues and replace weakness with, strength. Vinol also fortifies the system against colds and thus prevents pneumonia. A grandnelce of Alexander Hamilton, over eighty years of age, once remarked: "Vinol Is a godsend to old' people. Thanks to Vinol, I have a hearty appetite, sleep soundly, feel active and well. - It is the finest tonic and strength-creator I have ever used." If Vinol falls to build up the feeble old people, and create strength, we will return your money. J. L. White, Druggist, Greenwood, B.
